Pauch Jr, and Fitzpatric Join Forces for 2010

********************For Immediate Release*******************







Pauch Jr. and Fitzpatrick form Schaeffer's Harley Davidson Race Team







Billy Pauch Jr. and Shawn Fitzpatrick have joined forces to form the Schaeffer's Harley Davidson



Race Team for the 2010 season. The newly formed team will field a 2010 Bicknell chassis T102 in



weekly 358 small block competition at the Big Diamond Raceway with Pauch Jr. behind the wheel.







With twelve career wins in as many years of competition, Fitzpatrick had decided to sell his small



block equipment at the end of the 2009 season, wanting to spend more time with his wife and three



children. Tim Fitzpatrick, Shawn's brother, would continue to run in the sportsman division at



Big Diamond which would allow Shawn to stay involved without the full time comittment. But when Pauch



found himself without a ride at the Schuylkill County track, the two long time friends started to look at



some other possibilities. Pooling their resources and talents resulted in the newly formed team.



"Shawn is one of the best when it comes to securing sponsorships, " stated Pauch. In addition to



Schaeffer's Harley Davison Buell in Orwigsburg, PA, the new T102 will receive primary sponsorships from



Ken's Tire Company, Jack Rich Inc. and Freedom Toyota. Product sponsors include Bicknell Racing



Products, Art's Radiator, Jones Racing Products and Greene Filters.







Fans will have their first opportunity to view the new Schaeffer's Harley Davidson T102 on



February 13th at Schaeffer's Harley Davidson Raceday. To kick-off the Raceday event, there will be



a meet and greet the evening of February 12th at another team sponsor, Denny's Hotrod Bar & Grill,



Rte. 183, Cressona, PA from 9-11pm. Both of these events are free admission. Plans have been



made for the new T102 to be on display at Freedom Toyota in Hamburg, PA. Dates have yet to be



determined.







Denny's Hotrod Bar & Grill will host the team's kickoff party/fundraiser on Friday, March 5, 2010.



Tickets will sell for $10 and will be available at the door. More details to follow.
